Eagle of Failure

Every day at my office, because we are delinquents, we award an eagle of failure to someone for the day--for an extraordinary performance of stupidity (Not my boss, just some unruly coworkers and I do).

Today's eagle of failure in my book goes to a friend who, after seeing my post on FB that read "considering adopting a rescue. a little boy for mar (our toy poodle) to play with" texted me in complete AMAZEMENT that we were adopting a baby.

Since when are babies called "rescues?" Anyone? Anyone?

Most days I am my own eagle of failure, but I just had to share. Who is your eagle of failure for the day?

Re: Eagle of Failure

  • HAHAHAHA 'rescue'

    I don't have an eagle of failure, I'm really disturbed because I've been looking at this:

    There are commercials, too, but I'm afraid to look.

  • zomg, i want to be working at the NRA JUST so i can be a part of the eagles of failure awards.

    today i nominate...hmmm, cannot think of anyone.  but i am going to try really really hard to see something stupid from now on so i can report back.

    ps, i think you SHOULD adopt a small african child (rescue the *** out of it) and then marlee can play with him/her. 

  • The entire concept is awesome and your eagle of the day is hilarious.

    I don't have an eagle of failure today. Boo.

  • All I can say is "wow!"  Your coworker is definitely the smartest cookie in the candy jar!!!

    My eagle of failures usually happen at home around Don, which is is oh so thrilled to point out to me...so I haven't had a "heres your sign" moment today yet, but I'm sure I wont disappoint tonight though!

  • I dont have one but thats freaking hilarious.

    Can you picture a kid poking on its mom's stomach and saying 'I want a rescue!'

     

  • Awesome....how/did you respond to that text?

     The only thing I can sorta think of is this teacher who slides the "missing person in speech" note under my door with nothing on it. I highlight, underline, circle and everything else to figure out why the kid missed speech and she just slides it under my door every time. I don't get it. It clearly states "Thanks for checking and returning this form to me!"

    "Mommy juice cup"

    "Ooooh that smells like at church! Did Father Ed give you that??"
